What would Liz warren have done differently? Have y'all WILLIS acolytes figured out just how long you want the govt shutdown? GOP wasn't caving for HC and last Tuesdays elections didn't effect the makeup of the current federal government controlled by Republicans & trump
Schumer Needs to be removed as democrat speaker of the Senate immediately!
His leadership weakness showed again - he could’ve made the choice so difficult, so costly that these eight Democratic senators would have lost all of their power all of their influence, but he didn’t
He should remove all of their committee assignments but he won’t - cut each senators budget But he won’t
All of these senators should be primaried - and we the people need to let these cave men and cave women hear what we think about them caving - if they think what they did was to relieve political pressure- we need to dial the pressure up to 10 - go on Bluesky and you can voice your disapproval directly to them
I don’t get it either. The Democrats had control after Trump’s last term and did nothing to protect the democratic system. We seem to have I ineffectual and hostile parties as our choices.
Truly, America has not been a democracy for a long time. It is an oligarchy of the rich who bought this country awhile back.
Lobbying and Citizens United accelerated the ruin of American democracy.
Schumer has been pulling this crap for years, aided by his trusty lieutenant Dick(head) Durbin. He thinks we're stupid. He's been punching left his entire career.
This one is for all the moderates who insist on putting squishes into public office. People who think the left is scary because they actually stand for something are killing our democracy.
@Oliver Willis can you share why Under the Desk news is saying it was not Schumer this time (not defending all he’s done but we need know how this really happened). Where did you get your information that it was Schumer and why are others saying he was opposed to this? https://www.instagram.com/p/DQ3HmQ6DQ7y/
@Oliver Willis - Under the Desk News is reporting that it was not Schumer. I’m not defending all he does but getting the info correct is really important. Are you sure on this?
Exactly how I feel. The optics of this is terrible. Democrat politicans want our money and our votes, then when we want them to stand up for what we believe they cave. Every single time. I worked in Fetterman’s campaign, I just finished a year long effort to get Democrats elected in a blood red county in PA to no avail. We don’t matter. That’s the only realization.
Wonder how much CS had to do w/Biden’s ouster too… (but I gotta admire how it’s ’Biden stepped down’ vs ‘Biden was pushed out by Dem elites’ now). We all agree, right 😒
So how long would you have kept the govt closed Oliver? What's the goal? Republicans DGAF and people like you did everything in their power to prevent harm mitigation last November, in addition by opening the govt at least people will get SNAP for the holidays. If you want to ''fight fascism '' don't vote it into power. Maybe KAL El can fill u in. 😂
Schumer should have been ousted long ago, he's no friend to the democratic party. So disappointed at how he caved.
I've been mad at Schumer for a long time now. I stg, they should have picked Liz Warren as Senate leader, not this clueless dolt.
